Remove implants safely, with options from a simple removal to full capsule removal, tailored to your situation.


Breast implant removal, or explant, takes out existing breast implants. Patients choose removal for many reasons, including a wish to return to a natural breast, concerns about implant-related symptoms, suspected rupture, capsular contracture, or simply a change in preference over time.
The procedure is planned by complexity. A simple removal takes out the implant with minimal capsule handling. When rupture is suspected, the implant and its contents are removed with care to avoid spillage. A capsulectomy removes the surrounding scar capsule as well, in part or in full, when this is medically indicated or requested.
Removal can be performed alone or combined with a lift, since the breast often needs reshaping once the implant is gone. The goal is a safe, considered outcome that matches your reasons for removal. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.
Removal alone does not lift the breast or restore lost volume, which may need a lift or fat transfer. The breast may look softer, flatter, or looser after removal, depending on tissue and implant history.
You will receive instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, and fasting, and imaging may be arranged to assess the implant and capsule. The level of removal, simple, rupture-related, or capsulectomy, and whether a lift is added are planned together.
The implant is removed through a discreet incision. Depending on the plan, the capsule is left in place, partly removed, or fully removed, with attention to avoiding spillage when rupture is suspected. A lift is performed at the same time if agreed.
Swelling and tenderness ease over the first weeks. A support bra is worn as advised. The breast settles into its new shape over a few months, and the final appearance depends on skin quality, implant size and duration, and whether a lift was performed.
A safe return to an implant-free breast is achievable, with the option to reshape at the same time. Removal cannot restore the pre-implant breast exactly, cannot add volume, and may leave the breast softer or looser unless a lift is included.
Implant removal is generally safe, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Capsulectomy is a larger procedure than simple removal and carries additional risk. Smoking and impaired circulation raise healing risks, so smoking cessation is advised.
Implant removal at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose reconstructive background supports careful capsule handling and safe, considered explant surgery.
Dr. Amoroso plans removal around your reasons and your tissue, advising whether reshaping at the same time will give you a more comfortable, natural result.
From the first consultation, Dr. Amoroso discusses your concerns openly, explains the level of removal appropriate for you, and sets honest expectations for how the breast will look afterward.
